THE DOW LAW.
Some More Points Decided by the su-
preme Court.

preme court.
COLUMBUS, March 2.-The Supreme
Court this morning handed down a decis-
ion in the case of A. Senior & Son vs.
Frank Ratterman, treasurer Of Hamilton
county. The motion for leave TO file pc
tition in error to the Superior Court of
Cincinnati was overruled, virtually dis
posing of the case.
This case was brought from the lower
courts to have the question decided as to
whether the wholesale liquor dealers of
State are liable under the gallon clause of
the Dow law.
The pleadngs of A. Senior x Son claim
that the Auditor assessed the wholesale
liquor dealers four hundred dollars, which
they claim was excessive, two hundred
dollars being the amount payable under
the law.
The motion averred that the Dow law is
unconstitutional SO far as it relates to
wholesale liquor dealers who do not sell
in quantities less than one gallon. BY this
decision of the Court the wholesale liquor
men of the State will have to pay the
license, and in Cincinnati alone the over
ruling OF this motion will settle fifty
seven cases. This was about the last
important Dow law case before the Court.
To make the money derived under the
Dow law available for which it was col
lected formality yet remains TO be gone
through. Before it can he drawn upon the
County Treasurer, who is also Treasurer
for the city Of Columbus, must receive au
thority from the City Council "a transfer
the money from the County Treasury to
the two funds entitled TO the same-the
police and general expense funds. After
this is done, then warrants can be issued
on the funds, and the police, who have
been so long unpaid, will have their vouch-
crS hOnOrcd.

a young man in the employ of the c.

daughter, a young lady about Is
years of age; that he drugged the
young lady, or gave her wine to
drink, and took her to the house Of
woman Of questionable character,
and there, as is later charged. asso
ciated with his brother George Jenk-
ms, accomplished her ruin. Upon
the father OF the young lady hearing
Of the affair, he armed himself with a
Dcrringer and sought for young
Jenkins. He found him in Kelly IL

gurated a fusilade without ceremony.
lie excitedly fred at young Jenkins,
and we are told, the ball entered his
clothing, but did him no harm.
Wright made a second effort, but was
checked by George Smith, who Incl.
dentally appeared in the store, and
in the brief lull in hostilities that
followed, jenkins succeeded in max.
ing his escape from a rear door. The
following day Jenkins had Wright
arrested and bound over in the sum
of $500 to keep the peace, but con
cluded to leave town, and up to this
writing has not returned. On last
Monday Wright had George Jenkins
arrested on the charge of being asso.
ciated with his brother Walter in
the debauchery Of his daughter. The
trial resulted in the prisoner being
held to answer an indictment before
